It couldn’t have been possible without the support of #AjithKumar #HVinoth, entire cast & technicians. I shall always cherish this
While Ajith will play the character played by Bachchan in the original, Shraddha Srinath will reprise the role played by Taapsee. The movie also marks the Tamil debut of Bollywood actor Vidya Balan, who is rumoured to be playing the role of the wife of Ajith's character.
Other actors in the movie include Abhirami Venkatachalam, Adhik Ravichandran and Arjun Chidambaram.
Earlier, it was revealed that Nerkonda Paarvai will be simultaneously released in China, making it the second Kollywood movie to be released in that country after Rajinikanth's 2.0.
